P...Ketan is way too influenced by Satyamev Jayate!<br /><br />Parents have this attitude, I agree. At times they are sensible too as they know their children's capacity, but imposing their ideas on children is going a bit too far. Thankfully my parents never forced their choices and preferences on me, but I was brought up in the commerce background. Thus I knew what I wanted to pursue commerce. But I didn't know anything about anything else. Now when I think about it, I would have rather gone for Journalism!

Since you dont visit my blog frequently as you used to (thats what I assume) I dismissed the thought. Lo! here you are.<br /><br />True, I found it assuming since only minutes before I was feeling sad for her. Next, I am laughing at her silliness. The fact that she forgot where she was and pouring out her emotions told me how serious an issue it was for her about her son choosing his choice of degree. Isnt that stupid?<br /><br />And the "paal-pos kar itna bada kar diya hai" I have heard enough lotta time in my language as well.

I too do not like parents who try to realize their dreams through their children not bothering to know what the children like or want. Of course a mother can not let her child go astray. But when it comes to deciding on a career, the child's opinion can not be over looked.Ruprekhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798091874208338723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-90005083290776660202012-07-01T17:07:29.044+05:302012-07-01T17:07:29.044+05:30happens to a lot of us , I was to be a engineer to...happens to a lot of us , I was to be a engineer tooo ... <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Bikram's</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-85202956275977922272012-07-01T12:26:46.284+05:302012-07-01T12:26:46.284+05:30I guess people have their reasons.

Unlike some of the readers, I didn't find the situation funny. I got very angry at the authority with which the said mother felt that she had a 'right' to decide her son's course of career, where in *he* would be the one studying, facing all the pressures, working at the office, bringing work back home, and earning. I find it absolutely unacceptable when parents try to impose their choices in matters of vocation and life partner. I agree sometime choices of their children could be prima facie, unwise, but most parents would not be interested even in knowing the reasons behind their children's choices. It becomes and emotive 'ego issue' for them ["my child was nothing/zyogte (hehe! :D ), and we have enlarged him/her so much through our nurture (<i>paal-pos kar itna bada kar diya hai</i> :P ), and yet he/she has no respects for us, and is disregarding us in his/her choices? Do we not mean anything to him?"]. This sense of entitlement to make choices only to exert one's authority over the child is very irritating!<br /><br />I think this situation is perfect for some Satyamev Jayate episode! :PKetanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-17872747175995687912012-07-01T08:21:24.198+05:302012-07-01T08:21:24.198+05:30Good one...This happens very often:))we keep imagi...Good one...This happens very often:))we keep imagining wild things ...even if for a few seconds..chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162975193030085486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-32886086841862024572012-06-30T22:53:36.097+05:302012-06-30T22:53:36.097+05:30But it was a genuine concern to her :-SBut it was a genuine concern to her :-SInsigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-80712024023131617072012-06-30T22:53:20.926+05:302012-06-30T22:53:20.926+05:30And mine! :)And mine! :)Insigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-88499692450351325562012-06-30T22:53:11.064+05:302012-06-30T22:53:11.064+05:30Anita,
